For the shoot, which took place at St. John Fisher College, Bloch had to capture reliable sound from across the three football fields that were being used daily, in addition to audio from within the coaches’ offices, locker rooms, film stations and various other campus locations.

Bloch positioned his audio stand at the cross section between two of the three fields. He utilized antennas pointed down each field and, depending on what was being filmed at any given moment, the mics were usually 300 to 450 feet away from his station. There were even times when players would head to the locker rooms while miked, and Bloch could still capture the audio.

“Even through concrete structures, brick walls and more than 700 feet of distance, I could always hear them,” adds Bloch. “In fact, when the camera operators would get to just the other side of the field, they could no longer hear me through their comms, but I could still hear the players. That’s how good the Wisycom gear is.”
